would you PM with the details anyway if you get the time? cheers.

I don't know if the people who make "phantom grips" are still around. I had mine made locally.

I'm only running 7psi, to properly answer sikdatto's question.
Also worth noting is that I was running without a tacho, so I had to pretty much guess the engine speed when launching. The whole outing was very much a seat of the pants experience. I know there's so much room for improvement, it's quite heartening.

14sec is nothing to sneeze at - in the days of 8 sec "street cars" people laugh at that now, but from a pushrod 4 pot in a 30yo chassis that's still a great time!!! and 92mph is a bit slow, but still, it's not out of the ballpark. maybe just some taller rims and a bit more boost should see you over 95mph.

are those phantom grip "LSDs" still around? i think i'm going to need one.

top stuff

only 92mph.

Very nice time, what mphs were you pulling?
Is this still running 10psi on 1:1 pulleys? Im sure those tyres will shed a fair bit

Yes, it is the blown A15.
A bloke came up to me in the pits, and asked me if I wanted some race tyres. I asked how much, and he said free. You can't sneeze at a free pair of A008R's, even half worn ones.
I'll be runing those next time. With that and a plethora of other small improvements the tenths will be dropping like flys.

is this the supercharged a series?

nice work! finally a forced induction a series with some actual numbers!

sounds like you have a setup that works well!

14.6 is a very good time.. i can respect that especially since my standard 12a rotary could only manage 15.5

i too hope to crack 13's.. with my bridgeport

You are doing better than you think. Take a step back and follow your plan....better octane gas....and tires....important.....a must....
You are there...this was just a tasting of the waters...

14.6 seconds in the quarter mile is quick! That is close to the acceleration of the faster car sold in USA in 1985 (Porsche 928 S4, low 14s, followed by Mustang 5.0 Holley Carb at about 14.4 seconds). And faster than most "muscle cars" of the 1960s (although a very few broke into the high 13s).

Well done. Can't wait to hear how she goes next time.

Well done Bart.
